| Description of the problem | The 2011 legacy headlight design is poor. I have gone through 4 sets of low beams and currently refuse to replace them again. I refuse to take the car to the dealer for them to replace the low beams due to having to remove the wheel and inner wheel well for access. I know this is not just me, i have read in many other places and forums that other owners have the same problem. It would be nice to have some sort of resolution or fix other than converting to a h. I. D. Lighting system. |
